Tk_InitConsoleChannels &mdash; Install the console channels as standard channels

<H3><A NAME="M4">ARGUMENTS</A></H3>
<DL class="arguments">
<DT><A HREF="../TclLib/Interp.htm">Tcl_Interp</A> <B>*interp</B> (in)<DD>
Interpreter in which the console channels are created.
<P></DL>
<H3><A NAME="M5">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
<B>Tk_InitConsoleChannels</B> is invoked to create a set of console
channels and install them as the standard channels. All I/O on these
channels will be discarded until <B>Tk_CreateConsoleWindow</B> is
called to attach the console to a text widget.
<P>
This function is for use by shell applications based on Tk, like
<B><A HREF="../UserCmd/wish.htm">wish</A></B>, on platforms which have no standard channels in graphical
mode, like Win32.
<P>
The <I>interp</I> argument is the interpreter in which to create and
install the console channels.
<P>
<B>NOTE:</B> If this function is used it has to be called before the
first call to <B><A HREF="../TclLib/OpenFileChnl.htm">Tcl_RegisterChannel</A></B>, directly, or indirectly
through other channel functions. Because otherwise the standard
channels will be already initialized to the system defaults, which will
be nonsensical for the case <B>Tk_InitConsoleChannels</B> is for.
